Chapter 2343: Mission 23

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Her mission here was to enable the women to attain a rightful status and the opportunity to cultivate.

Nonetheless, she aimed to ensure that these women didn’t, in turn, seek to oppress others.

As they embarked on the carriage bound for the court…

She shared the ride with her nanny.

Upon arriving at the carriage…

They still had some distance to cover before reaching the palace.

The nanny couldn’t suppress her curiosity, “For so many years, it was a rule that women couldn’t cultivate. Now, these women are all cultivating. Can we expect the Emperor of Jinwei Land to readily accept this and summon us to the palace for discussions in such a short time?” Only a few days had transpired.

Gu Chaoyan gave a slight shake of her head.

“It certainly won’t be that straightforward,” she responded.

“My suspicion is that our visit this time is intended to disband us, initially through persuasion, then potentially resorting to force. If I don’t acquiesce, I fear we might encounter danger in the palace, as Miss Lin suggested.”

“But don’t worry. The Jinwei Land’s palace can’t contain me.”

“Let’s proceed. We’ll address the situation step by step,” Gu Chaoyan reassured.

The nanny nodded.

Xu Xunnan had elucidated the situation so thoroughly that she now had a fairly clear understanding of the circumstances.

Simultaneously, she felt a sense of calmness.

She believed that with Xu Xunnan’s comprehension and confidence, there should be no issues to confront within the palace.

The carriage swayed and before long, they arrived at the Jinwei Land’s palace.

Gu Chaoyan surveyed the expanse of Jinwei Land’s palace.

While Jinwei Land may have been considered relatively small and not overly affluent, its national strength was commendable.

The palace exhibited a formidable level of security.

Guided by Wang Yuankui, they encountered no obstacles along the route and successfully advanced into the encompassing the palace.

They reached the innermost section.

Upon disembarking from the carriage, a palace eunuch directed them to the Emperor.

Gu Chaoyan took notice of the court’s greenery.

She strolled leisurely.

Before long, they reached the imperial study.

As she stepped into the imperial study, she spotted Xu Yuanlong waiting outside.

Xu Yuanlong regarded her with an anxious countenance. “Xunnan…”

Gu Chaoyan pivoted without acknowledging him and departed without a single word.

She didn’t extend the slightest courtesy to Xu Yuanlong and exhibited no inclination to address him.

Xu Yuanlong found himself somewhat embarrassed. By chance, his gaze met that of Wang Yuankui. Wang Yuankui regarded Xu Yuanlong and offered a comforting expression. “Lord Xu has done his utmost. Don’t overthink it. Take your time.”

Xu Yuanlong nodded.

Wang Yuankui was somewhat apprehensive.

He then stepped into the imperial study.

Rather than bowing, Gu Chaoyan maintained an erect posture, positioning herself in front of the Emperor of Jinwei Land.

The Emperor of Jinwei Land was somewhat displeased by this. Since ascending to the throne, no one had dared to exhibit such audacity in his presence. Yet now, a woman displayed such arrogance.

His gaze shifted to Xu Xunnan.

Among the noblewomen from these aristocratic families, Xu Xunnan’s appearance was indeed rather unremarkable. In fact, it bordered on the ordinary.

It was hardly surprising that she would undertake such an audacious action.

She believed that if she failed to do so, she would lead an unsatisfactory life, even as the Lady of the Xu family.

“You are Xu Xunnan,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land addressed Xu Xunnan in a soft tone.

He didn’t request her to bow or take a seat. Instead, he permitted her to remain standing.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. “Yes.”

Beyond that single word, no additional words were exchanged.

The Emperor of Jinwei Land was deeply dissatisfied with her demeanor.

Observing an emperor devoid of fear, excitement, embarrassment, or any display of emotion was an unusual sight..
